WE have a crescent of Park&Ride sites around the outer ring road surrounding york, from Shipton Road around to Monks Cross.

The only main road not serviced by the Park&Ride surprisingly is Wigginton Road and Clifton Moor - which is surprising, because one of the major traffic delay points is around York Hospital at visiting times.

A Park&Ride site possibly running a minibus directly to the hospital would alleviate much of the traffic flow and associated parking problems at the hospital.

It would also attract people from Wigginton and Haxby and alleviate much of the problem caused by workers driving and parking in town from this side of town.

I’ve recently noticed a driver parking on one of the rough, rutted laybys in Wigginton Road, lifting a cycle out of the boot and cycling off in the direction of York.

The on-street parking problems in York are driving people farther and farther out of town.
